HYMN LVIL Visvedevas.

1. LET us not, Indra, leave the path, the Soma-presser's sacrifice:

Let no malignity dwell with us.

2 May we obtain, completely wrought, the thread spun out to reach the Gods,

That perfecteth the sacrifice.

3 We call the spirit hither with the Soma of our parted sires,

Yea, with the Fathers' holy hymns.

4 Thy spirit come to thee again for wisdom, energy, and lire,

That thou mayst long behold the sun!

5 O Fathers, may the Heavenly Folk give us our spirit once again,

That we may be with those who live.

6 O Soma with the spirit still within us, blest with progeny,

May we be busied in the law.
